Starting long put off Gantry Rebuild

[Mountaincraft]

It does nothing structurally, limits my travel not in any way.. It's only purposes is a solid mounting point for the vacuum hose.. Holds things at the right angle so that there is no stress on the hose that would cause it to break/separate...

Yesterday, I installed a new cable management system for the X axis.. Was tired of broken vacuum hoses... Finally broke down and bought a cable chain, and built a mounting system and supports for it all.. Got a couple more things to do (redo the little block where the chain attaches to the gantry so it can't work loose over time, and install side barriers for the cable chain as it wants to walk a little) and then the problems associated with how I had it before should be resolved once and for all... General wiring looks better now too..
